DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure relates to a multi-fitting accessory device (“thedevice”). The device attaches to an accessory/gadget (e.g., a mobiledevice) and then the device may be attached to one or more objects(e.g., a finger, belt, or purse) by way of one or more fittings toanchor the accessory/gadget to the object to prevent theaccessory/gadget from falling on the ground thereby preventing damagethereto. The device 10 includes multiple fittings (e.g., a ring fitting10 a, a lasso loop 10 b, a phone case anchor 10 c, a waist line clip 10d) for attachment to an object.

Turning to FIG. 1, the device 10 a may include a device mount 12, a ringfitting 14, and an anchor clip fitting 18. The device mount 12 attachesto an accessory/gadget, and thereby attaches the accessory/gadget to thedevice 10 a. The rear surface of the device mount may include anadhesive to affix the device mount to the accessory/gadget. The adhesivemay include a sticky back or any other suitable adhesive material tocreate a permanent connection between the accessory/gadget and thedevice. The device mount may be configured in any suitable size.Moreover, the device mount 12 may be made from any suitable material.

The ring fitting 14 may include a metal ring or a ring made from anyother suitable material. The ring fitting is configured to attach to afirst object, such as, for example, a finger. The ring fitting may beaffixed to the rear surface of the device mount 12 by any suitablemeans, such as, for example, fasteners or adhesives. The anchor clipfitting 18 is attached to the rear surface of device mount 12. Theanchor clip fitting may be affixed to the rear surface of the devicemount 12 by any suitable means, such as, for example, fasteners oradhesives. The anchor clip fitting 18 is configured to attached to atleast one removable cord 20, (shown in FIG. 2), which may be connectedto a second object (e.g., a belt loop or purse).

The at least one removable cord 20 has a pair of connectors attached toeach end of the removable cord, and one of the connectors is attached tothe anchor clip fitting 18 and the other connector is attached to asecond object (e.g., a belt, purse, etc.). Moreover, the at least oneremovable cord may be implemented as a metal chain 20 a, bungee cord 20b, or a rope shaped chain 20 c.

In another exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the device 10b includes a lasso cord fitting 25, a tightener 27 and an anchor ringfitting 29. The lasso cord fitting 25 may be attached to anaccessory/gadget (e.g., a mobile device or a mobile device casing). Theanchor ring fitting 29 may be configured to attached to at least oneremovable cord 20, which is attached to another object (e.g., a beltloop or purse). The tightener 27 widens and narrows the lasso cordfitting 25 to a suitable size for secure attachment to theaccessory/gadget.

In another exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the device 10c includes a phone case anchor 30 including an anchor clip 32. The phonecase anchor 30 attaches to an accessory/gadget (e.g., mobile device),and thereby attaches the accessory/gadget to the device 10 c. The rearsurface of the phone case anchor may include an adhesive to affix thephone case anchor to the accessory/gadget. The adhesive may include asticky back or any other suitable adhesive material to create apermanent connection between the accessory/gadget and the device. In apreferred embodiment, the phone case anchor 30 attaches directly to arear surface of a mobile device 33 and the mobile device with the device10 c attached thereto may then be enclosed in a mobile device casing 34.The phone case anchor may be configured in any suitable size. Moreover,the phone case anchor may be made from any suitable material. The anchorclip 32 may be “U” shaped and is configured to attach to at least oneremovable cord 20, (shown in FIG. 2), which may be connected to a secondobject (e.g., a belt loop or purse). The anchor clip 32 is configured tofit through the connector opening at the bottom of the mobile devicecasing. The anchor clip may be made out of braided rope. This will allowa user to manually move the anchor clip away from the connector openingto insert a cable therein.

In another exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the device 10d includes a waist line clip 37 and a ring 39. The waist line clip isconfigured to attach to another object, such as, for example, a belt, abelt loop 41, a purse strap, etc. The waist line clip may be made fromany suitable material. The ring 39 is configured to attach to at leastone removable cord 20, (shown in FIG. 2), which may be connected to asecond object (e.g., a mobile device).

Moreover, it should be understood that when an element is referred to asbeing “connected” or “coupled” to another element, it can be directlyconnected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may bepresent. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directlyconnected” or “directly coupled” to another element, there are nointervening elements present. Other words used to describe therelationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion(e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directlyadjacent,” etc.)

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particularembodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of exampleembodiments. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” areintended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearlyindicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms“comprises,” “comprising,” “includes” and/or “including,” when usedherein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps,operations, elements and/or components, but do not preclude the presenceor addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations,elements, components and/or groups thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientificterms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by oneof ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. Itwill be further understood that terms, e.g., those defined in commonlyused dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that isconsistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art.However, should the present disclosure give a specific meaning to a termdeviating from a meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill,this meaning is to be taken into account in the specific context thisdefinition is given herein.
